Pseudocoup 

Can be pronounced like Sudoku if wordplay demands it. An attempt to overthrow the government that, due to both poor planning and execution, fails in an incredibly underwhelming fashion.
Due to the impromptu nature of its formation and execution, supporters of President Donald Trump attempted a pseudocoup in order to overthrow the confirmation of President-elect Joe Biden.

pseudocode 

Pseudocode is a description of a computer programming algorithm that uses the structural conventions of programming languages, but omits detailed subroutines or language-specific syntax. It can also refer to a high level 'language' whose aim is to generalise the logic and program flow of a computer program
An example of how pseudocode differs from regular code is below.

Regular code (written in PHP):

<?php
if (is_valid($cc_number)) {
execute_transaction($cc_number, $order);
} else {
show_failure();
}
?>

Pseudocode:

if credit card number is valid
execute transaction based on number and order
else
show a generic failure message
end if

pseudocumentary 

A documentary that uses false information or preys upon the viewers emotions to make an absurd argument. Pseudocumentaries are typically propaganda films, often found on the internet, using scary music and vivid images to purport their views. In short, pseudocumentaries are bullshit.
"Listen man, you have to watch 'Loose Change.' It'll change your whole world!"
"Um, dude, that's a pseudocumentary at best."

"So, I just saw Michael Moore's latest pseudocumentary. That thing was just loaded with fear music."
